observation-disclosures were able to realize
a small Improvement In prices of -four, the
gain being some 10@]5c d barrel for certain
grades. OF course the small rise was the di-
rect result of the general improvement in the
wheat markets. The advance in flour has
been no more than half that secured in wheat,
and ifwheat stays up it is safe to say that
flour will follow. The demand to-day was
| much more active, and free sales could easily
have been effected at old figures. Patent,
sacks to local dealers, $4.20@4.30; patent, to
ship, sacks, car lots, S4.10@4.30; in barrels,
